how to do this. His personality is just not the type to generate trust , He thinks manipulation of the truth is the same thing as not creating panic.

As Covid got worse, Trump just bore down on his untruths, etc. He is incapable of apologizing and then steering a new course for US.

We are the victims of his putrid personality.

it was deadly and airborne so why confide in Woodward when he never intended to tell the American people? It's a very good question.
